I am in process of re-building a clean install of Windows 10 version 1709 build 16299.64. But have been having a problem with some Logitech drivers and Malwarebytes 3.3.1.2183 Package 1.0.236 update 1.0.3317 that do not want to co-exist on my machine.
Problem: After installing three or more of Logitech programs/drivers (listed below) and adding Malwarebytes, Win 10 Start button stops responding to left click (& Win key on keyboard) and Start Menu will not open. Also Action Center will not open. Workaround found: Right click Start button to open Context Menu. Click on Settings, nothing happens. Right click on start button, settings opens but is blank. Right click again on start button and settings fill in window. Clicking on items in settings now works normal. This workaround also will open Action Center. Whenever there is a freeze in Start, Settings or Action Center, right clicking the Start button will usually cause what I think is a refresh of the active window. WHEN RESTARTING SYSTEM:The system hangs up with "Task Host is stopping background tasks. (\Microsoft\Windows\Plug and Play\Device Install Reboot Required." System will sit here forever. Workaround: click on Restart Anyway. These problems started with previous Win 10 version 1703 and was reason for clean install. But clean install & new version OS did not fix.
Somehow I believe the drivers for one of the following Logitech programs/drivers is causing this problem because when Malwarebytes is installed with three or more of the Logitech items also, the above problems return. I think the Extreme 3D may be biggest prob as it is oldest software.
I have to remove ALL of these programs to get the problem to go away and have system working normal. Then reinstall only two Logitech (WebCam/Headset) and Malwarebytes. These will work together, but if I add either of the other two Logitech programs, the problem returns. Also, I can install all 4 Logitech programs and they work UNTIL I add Malwarebytes. I know this hardware will work without the software. Win 10 finds working drivers for all without adding Logitech software. But I would like to continue to use some of the features only available with software installed.
Logitech Gaming Software G930 Headset version 8.96.88
Logitech WebCam C310 version 2.5.1 build 13.51.828
Logitech Set Point current downloaded from website
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Stick Profiler version 5.10.127 Date:06/14/2010
I am posting this report on Logitech's forum also. So I hope that either MWBytes or Logitech can find & fix problem.
Thank you in advance!
